PENA CEDENO, Adis L. et al. Breast neuroendocrine tumor: A case presentation. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 1999, vol.25, n.3, pp.194-196. ISSN 0138-600X.

This paper presents the case of the first breast neuroendocrine tumor diagnosed in the Teaching Gynecobstetric Hospital of Guanabacoa. It is a 77 years-old female patient having an exophytic tumor in her left breast and history of hypertension. The diagnosis was made using histology immunohistochemistry techniques; enolase, chromogranine and estrogen-receptors tests were positive. The low malignity of the tumor, its exophytic growth, its pure histologic neuroendocrine pattern and the systemic clinical manifestations that may be related to the tumor are underlined.
